The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Supplement. To the best of the knowledge of the Issuer (having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in this Supplement, is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.

Certain statements included or incorporated by reference herein may constitute “forward looking statements”. Forward looking statements include statements about the Issuer’s future and statements that are not historical facts. These forward looking statements are usually preceded by the words “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” or similar expressions. Forward looking statements may contain expectations regarding revenues, earnings, operations and other financial projections, and may include statements of future performance, plans and objectives. Forward looking statements also include statements pertaining to the Issuer’s strategies for future development of its business and products. Forward looking statements represent only the Issuer’s belief regarding future events, many of which by their nature are inherently uncertain.

Information regarding important factors that could cause actual results to differ, perhaps materially, from those in the Issuer’s forward looking statements is contained in the Base Prospectus and other documents the Issuer files. Any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made. The Issuer will not update any forward looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which the statement is made, except as required by applicable law. Where there is any inconsistency among the Base Prospectus and this Supplement, the language used in this Supplement shall prevail.
